Monitor shuts off at startup mode

[Jenna0921]

hello well my brother has a dell computer and when he restarts his computer, his monitor shuts off at startup mode. Is there any way to fix this??

log in to safe mode... press f8 during boot to access it.

sometimes, on some computers when they restart, for the first 2-3 seconds, there's no signal from the video card, alot of monitors will go into sleep mode for a second or so during this time, and go into normal mode when the the signal is back from the video card. You usually can't control weather a monitor goes into sleep mode when there's no signal

does the monitor turn back on? do you see any kinda of startup? (big dell logo usually for dells)

try to go into safe mode like suggested and change the resolution. If it's LCD it may be trying to run an unsupported resolution and turning off.

I think the guy might be talking about cmos startup, not windows.
